How do I make a nested ordered list within my unordered list?

I have tried it all and need to know ASAP! I can't seem to figure it out.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li> Stop </li>
      <li> Drop </li>
      <li> Roll </li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
        <ol>
          <li>one</li>
          <li>two</li>
        </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>

    </ul>

You're very close. You just need to move the ending list item tag to contain the entire nested list:

      <li>Shapes    <!-- move the closing tag that was here -->
        <ol>
          <li>one</li>
          <li>two</li>
        </ol>
      </li>         <!-- put it here, AFTER the nested list -->
